00:00I think the right wing position should be a priority for Newcastle this summer and the second priority, centre-back, right-sided centre-back, I think you're right because you're looking at the squad, you're a Fabian Scher injury away from Emile Kraft starting centre-back, Fabian Scher, Kraft, Jamal Lascelles, Dan Byrne all above the age of 30, the only one not above the age of 30 in the senior squad, Sven Botman who's played less than half a dozen games, started less than half a dozen games in the last year, injuries, there's still question
00:29marks over his fitness, although when he's fit, you see the quality he brings, he's probably a guaranteed starter if fully fit, but there's still, will he be fully fit and when will he be fully fit, and yeah, right-sided centre-back, just given the options, you're looking at someone like Fabian Scher, got a year left, or just signed a one-year extension on his contract, he's 33, 34 next season, you naturally need someone where you go, right, we can put our hat on this player, he's going to be our centre-back.
